Hon. Rohitha Abeygunawardhana
Hon. Rohitha Abeygunawardhana asked the Minister what steps are being taken regarding 1,955 buses that are out of service. He questioned whether they would be auctioned and raised concerns that some buses are lying idle for minor reasons such as lack of batteries, while their parts are being removed for other buses, eventually turning them into scrap.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, thank you for the reply. My first supplementary: There are 1,955 buses out of service. What actions are you taking regarding these? Are they being auctioned? For example, in some depots, buses are idle only for want of batteries; parts are being cannibalized from such buses for others, ultimately reducing them to scrap. What measures are you taking?
